...think of ourselves, we cannot but be conscious that we are a part of the working of the great power of the universe, and that we have some kinship with it. This is surely not anthropomorphism.

So we can say of the soul that if we know...

His motions are hurried, he always waits till the instructor's face is turned away and then he bolts as any thief would do.

In this, as in everything else, good material should not be allowed to waste away from lack of self-assertion, or fear of competition. Whatever the cause of the small number of entries, the games did credit to the freshman class...
...officers has been posted in the south entry of University. Men who are candidates for the degrees of A. B., S. B., and C. E., in 1894, are alone eligible to vote. While the committee has taken every precaution to make the list as complete as possible, they are conscious that errors and omissions have very likely occurred. Every man who thinks he has a claim to take part in the elections, whether he is certain of his eligibility or not, is therefore requested to examine the list at once, and to report in writing before midnight today...
